In other business, council agreed to pay $698.30 to share in the costs of a county-wide black fly suppression program.
"I know it's that time of year when you are all thinking about black flies, but the Elk County commissioners have sent us their annual request and they have calculated our share," said borough manager Mary Polaski.
